A bloke near me has about 6 or 7 Leyland P76s in different states of repair. This is a car that he uses for charity rallies:

From a quick Google it appears to be related to a South African Burning Man style event. That said, double cab utes are the work truck of choice across...well, the entire world where F-Series/Silverado trucks simply dont exist, or where a Hiace or Transit van makes more sense.

Havent been around a while. Lifes taken over and ive been working at a very fortunate shop. So much so that Im a bit jadded after walking by this type of thing every day.  Those of you who are in a similar boat might agree that one gets used to it after a while and its just like working around anything else and I dont really get excited by or take pictures of much anymore let alone share it. However my jaw got to drop again the other day so here yall go.

Actually, I saw where someone theorized it was all classic cars because carburetors and old tin survived better that newer cars chock full of electronics did when civilization took a nosedive. Makes sense, if you can get past how much fuel they use for all those rides... Also, that 959 is sweet.

The newest cars that have appeared in Mad Max were, I think, the R32 Skylines in Fury Road, and their outside was line with PCBs, so that's definitely been a thing And yes, that 959 is sweet as all hell (and I'm a big 356 fan so  )

Afrikaburn Department of Public Works. from 2014 thru 2017 I worked on the crew that builds the infrastructure for that event. its basically Burning Man but in South Africa, so far cooler/smaller. all burns have a DPW, and a DMV for inspecting/regulating art cars. in related Mad Max chat, I often worked with production crews that worked on Fury Road. they wound up shooting it in Namibia, and a lot of the equipment/vehicles wound up with crew members. I did a ton of mechanical/fab work on one of them. the caveat was we had to make it look like something that _wasnt_ in the film. I think we mostly succeeded. its built on a Land Cruiser chassis with a 1HD-T so its actually quite fast. the axles are 3 meters wide. its called Ossewa (ox wagon in Afrikaans). can anyone recognize it?

Fat oversized tires on street cars always looks amazing. It's gotta be the hot wheels effect, right? Makes them look like a cute toy.

Olympic Mathlete posted:kinda whips rear end tbh. dude's taking it on that Gambler drive thing I may have mentioned it before, but a buddy of mine has at least 10 Fieros in his back yard (he used to run a Fiero parts business.) Once I saw the "kart" phenomenon (Vette-karts, Miata-karts) and subsequently saw a skinned Fiero, I started contemplating a Fiero-kart. Like above, but all the FRP body panels removed, except maybe the roof panel (which is bonded, so a bit more difficult to remove anyway.)

So that Art Of Rally game is super fun. Has rally stages, some free roam locations and daily weekly challenges. Looks to have a ton of cars as well.
